Protecting Pension and Health Care Benefits After Job Loss

Protecting Your Pension

If you lose your job, request a copy of your plan’s summary plan description (SPD) and ask for an individual benefit statement. If you were an active participant in your employer’s pension plan, you may be eligible to roll over your vested pension benefits to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or to a new employer’s retirement plan. See your SPD for details.
